He Xi VS Morgana

As He Xi appeared, the already tense atmosphere in the desert instantly escalated to an extreme.

However, in Si Yao's eyes from afar, all of this seemed somewhat subtle.

He could clearly sense that this "He Xi" before him, while her energy fluctuations were extremely similar to the main body, was essentially just a high-precision clone, not her true self.

Obviously, this meticulous Heavenly Base King had chosen the most stable approach: first testing with a clone, unsure of Morgana's current strength and whether she would interfere.

Morgana looked at He Xi, her heart tensing to the extreme.

Although He Xi's strength was slightly inferior to Kaisha that bitch, she was definitely one of the opponents she least wanted to face.

If it were Kaisha, she might still be able to stall for a bit by relying on her familiarity with Kaisha's fighting style, but He Xi... this guy who had been hiding behind the scenes doing research for tens of thousands of years had endless tricks and was unpredictable.

In a head-on battle, she might not be afraid, but that was on the premise of having the Demon Wings! Her assets were not with her now!

What's more, her Demon Legion had already suffered heavy losses, with only A Tai and a few other Demon Veterans remaining.

The other demon resurrection plans had just begun and could not be completed in a short time.

If A Tai and the others were lost here, she would truly be alone!

Could it be that she had to find another place to recuperate for a thousand years?

Who knew what this broken Earth would be like in a thousand years?

Moreover, the main purpose of her coming to Earth—the Space-Time Gene—that Thing had already been activated! If she left in such a sorry state now, who knew what changes would happen in the future!

"He Xi, it's been tens of thousands of years, and you're attacking right off the bat. Isn't that a bit impolite?" Morgana didn't want to fight, her mind already calculating how to slip away.

He Xi couldn't be bothered with nonsense. With a thought, the Star Fate suspended in the air transformed into a silver lightning bolt again, shooting towards Morgana with the momentum to tear everything apart!

"Damn it!" Morgana cursed. Her huge Morgana's Demon Claw instantly appeared, meeting the attack with surging Dark Energy!

"Clang—!"

The harsh Metal Clashing Sound echoed through the desert. The Star Fate, made of Dark Silver, collided fiercely with Morgana's Demon Claw, erupting in dazzling sparks and Energy Impacts.

Both were made of Dark Silver, so their pure offensive power was on par.

However, Morgana's Demon Claw leaned more towards close-quarters grappling and Power Crush, while He Xi's Star Fate was designed for precise long-range strikes and high-speed Cutting.

After several intense collisions and blocks, Morgana seized an opportunity. Her Demon Claw snapped shut, narrowly and tightly clamping the rapidly approaching Star Fate in its palm!

The Star Fate vibrated violently but couldn't break free for a moment.

Seizing this chance, she didn't hesitate. She swung her other hand backward forcefully. A powerful Wormhole Calculation was instantly completed. Beneath A Tai and the other few Demon Veterans behind her, a Wormhole suddenly opened!

"Go!" Morgana grunted.

Although A Tai and the others were unwilling, they knew that staying would only become a burden to their Queen. Without hesitation, they leaped into the Wormhole, their figures disappearing instantly.

Morgana herself remained in place, her Demon Claw tightly gripping the struggling Star Fate, facing He Xi directly, ready to cover their retreat.

He Xi had anticipated this.

In terms of Wormhole Technology, Liang Bing's talent was arguably the best in the Known Universe, even Kaisha admitted inferiority.

The reason she used Star Fate right away was just to test whether Morgana's iconic Demon Wings were present.

If the Demon Wings were there, given Liang Bing's personality, she would definitely find any means necessary, regardless of the Price, to seize her Star Fate.

If that Thing fell into Morgana's hands, it would be truly terrifying.

But now, she was merely restraining it, which meant she wasn't confident she could break through her defenses in a short time and couldn't snatch the Star Fate.

Or rather, the Demon Wings were not here at all.

With this realization, He Xi's clone didn't hesitate and charged forward directly, drawing out her King's Fate, which she hadn't used in tens of thousands of years, and engaged Morgana in battle!

Angel Yan and the others wanted to help but were sternly stopped by He Xi through Dark Communication.

"Don't move! King-level battles are not something you can interfere with! If you rashly join, you won't even know how you died!"

Thus, Angel Yan and the others could only hover nervously in place, waiting for a chance to support.

Si Yao and Su Xiao Li from afar also continued to watch the show quietly, showing no intention of interfering.

Su Xiao Li even pulled out a bag of snacks from somewhere and whispered to Si Yao, "Boss, who do you think will win?"

Just then, an urgent Dark Communication, filled with obvious exasperation, forcefully broke into Si Yao's channel. It was Morgana!

"Hey! Si Yao! Help me out! Drive this old aunt away! I owe you a favor! Whatever you want, as long as I have it, we can talk!"

Si Yao acted as if he hadn't heard, not even giving her a glance.

Seeing that he was unmoved and He Xi's attacks were becoming more and more fierce, Morgana was extremely anxious and transmitted again: "Hey! Did you hear me?! As long as you help me, name your Price!"

Si Yao finally showed some reaction. He slowly, deliberately, took out the Dark Silver long sword with an Ancient and Elegant Shape, which He Xi had given him as a "meeting gift," from the Dark Plane.

The long sword gleamed with an Ice Cold light in his hand, its meaning self-evident.

Morgana: "???"

She was stunned, completely stunned!

Distracted during the battle, she was almost decapitated at the shoulder by He Xi's King's Fate.

She scrambled to dodge, shouting incredulously at He Xi, "Bitch! He Xi! When did you get involved with this guy who finished off your old lover?! Sumali had a thing with you too, didn't he? If you don't want revenge when he's killed, fine, but you're giving him weapons?! Have you lived the last tens of thousands of years for nothing?!"

Hearing this, He Xi's attack didn't lessen at all. A hint of mockery even appeared on her face as she finally replied coldly, "An old matter from tens of thousands of years ago is worth you gossiping about? Liang Bing, you're still so childish."

If one had to say there was any affection between her and Sumali, it wasn't much. At most, it was a black history from when she was young and foolish.

Tens of thousands of years had passed. At most, she would spare Sumali's life out of old sentiment. But to save him, or avenge him...

That was purely a joke.

The battle continued.

Seeing that Si Yao had no intention of interfering, and had even revealed the sword given by He Xi to show his stance, Morgana's heart sank completely.

She could only curse He Xi's "ruthless and unrighteousness" while wielding the Demon Claw, scrambling to resist He Xi's swordsmanship, which flowed like mercury and was inescapable. At the same time, she was rapidly calculating an escape plan inside her brain.

He Xi wasn't truly trying to kill her. She had left Heavenly City and lost the support of the Heavenly Base Computing Group's terrifying computing power. Relying solely on Heavenly Base Four and her own clone's computing power, her combat strength had significantly declined. She didn't believe she could keep Morgana, who was determined to escape, with just a clone.

Her action today was more of a test. She wanted to test how far Morgana's Fourth Generation Space-Time God Body had evolved, gauge her limits, and collect combat data and intelligence.

As for formally launching an encirclement and suppression... that was a headache for Kaisha.
